For example, if you draw a man on one page, flip over to the next page and draw a woman then click the button, you're going to get a picture of a man and woman overlapping.Īnd then there are some logistical issues that are bound to happen: sometimes as you write, your paper may move, and because of that, the lines captured by the app and the lines on your paper will be different. It's not really capturing what is shown on the paper. See the thing is the Bamboo Spark is actually capturing your strokes one by one. The Spark performs very well as a note-taking tool but when it comes to drawing, it falls short. The setup itself takes only 45 seconds and is a one-time affair. Otherwise, you can draw all you like but you're not going to have access to the digital versions. That means it's really important to make sure your phone is compatible with the app before you buy the product. Also, the thickness of the paper makes no difference to the final output.īefore you can start drawing, you need to download an app from the App Store or the Google Play Store. The good thing is you can use any paper you like as long as you use it over the sensor in the binder. As for the paper provided by Wacom - a regular A5-sized pad - it's easy to draw and write on. The pen works for taking notes but as any artist will tell you, being restricted to one form of media, in this case ballpoint pens, can be especially frustrating. So in case you forget the pen at home, the smartness of the product goes right out the window. Sadly, the Bamboo Spark doesn't work with typical ballpoint pens, or any other pens or pencils for that matter. No matter how you hold the pen or how you use it on paper, the line width remains the same. The fine point made no difference in the line quality on the uploaded drawing. The pen is sleek, and the refills fine point, not medium (which is what comes with the Wacom pen). At the edge is a rubber band that will latch on to the front cover's hook to close the holder tight, just like a folder. It feels like a binder that one would carry into a lecture at first glance. The Wacom Spark holder is really well made. Luckily, nearly everything about the Spark is smarter than its predecessor. Inkling had mixed reviews, mostly leaning towards the unfavourable. The first was the Inkling released in 2011. This is not Wacom's first attempt at creating something that works like this. Tablets and laptops are being used more and more as you will see in any meeting these days, yet you can't beat the fluidity of writing with a pen on paper. Whether it's recording the details of a meeting, or roughing out an early concept, we end up using pages upon pages of paper which is then hidden away in a pile of notepads or sketchbooks. Taking notes and jotting down ideas is something we all do. As this kind of product falls outside the day-to-day experience and expertise of the team at Gadgets 360, we worked with Mudit Ganguly, a freelance illustrator and graphic designer who uses such devices for a living, to provide his expert opinion about the Spark. It's like using a scanner to digitise your paper notes, except that there's no scanner. The Bamboo Spark is what Wacom is calling a 'smart folio' notes you make using its smart pen and pad will be turned into digital versions ready to share online. It is a specialised gadget for note-taking and illustrating, according to Wacom. The Bamboo Spark is a little different, as Wacom envisions it as a kind of smart notebook. Wacom is famous for its tablets for artists, digitisers that allow them to create art directly on the computer, instead of having to work with pen and paper and then a scanner.
